== Best Practices ==
=== [[File:Donkey_carriage.png|30px|link=]] Time Management [[File:Waypoint.png|30px|link=]]===
Time is an often overlooked resource and should be thought of as valuable. Fast-Traveling to a [[File:Waypoint.png|20px|link=]] Waypoint is done instantly and can save you important time that can be used to continue exploring and improving your build. This is especially useful when found near a [[File:Golem.png|20px|link=]] Golem or [[File:Cauldron.png|20px|link=]] Cauldron as you will visit these incredibly frequently.

=== [[File:Wandering_merchant.png|30px|link=]] Hunting Items [[File:Food_vendor.png|30px|link=]]===
As you look for specific items for your build, it is important to be aware of ways to increase your chances of finding them by knowing the items' tags and what locations can contain those items.

The [[File:Wandering_merchant.png|20px|link=]] Traveling Merchant always has exactly 5 Rare and 1 Heroic item. Each one also maintains whether the specific slot is an item or a weapon after rerolls. As such, if you are looking for a Heroic Weapon, one of the best ways to find it is rerolling at a merchant who has a weapon in the Heroic slot.

=== [[File:Icon_attack.png|30px|link=]] Challenging Bosses [[File:Icon_armor.png|30px|link=]]===
Bosses can be viewed by pressing Tab, and can be challenged early in the game's escape menu. It may seem like you should maximize your chances against each one in order, but really you should challenge them as early as you are able to. Defeating them early grants more item slots, which is crucial for having enough space for efficient collection and crafting.

Challenging them early will not waste that week or cost you extra time. After they are defeated, an arrow will appear at the end of your day-counter to indicate that a boss battle will not trigger at the end of that week, since you already defeated them. It is possible to defeat multiple bosses in the same week, causing multiple arrows to pile up.

There are certain items that are strong for early fights despite being weak in the endgame. These are typically ones that give you big singular benefits without needing to be combined with anything, such as [[Cracked_Bouldershield|Cracked Bouldershield]] and [[Royal Helmet]]. It can be good to pick up one or two of these from a merchant early on. Don't get too attached to these items though, as many of them don't combine into the type of engines and combos that you'll want to create for in the endgame.
